Question

How to treat what seem like cracked blisters on my baby's bottom?

Share

Approximately 4 days ago I noticed that my one year old daughter had what seemed like a little pimple right above her butt . The next day the little pimple had cracked and now looks more like a blister. Today in the morning after her diaper change she had a second one that already looked like blister and this time on her butt. So I checked her thoroughly and noticed that she has another little blister but this time closer to her genital area and 2 more of the little pimples. I change her diapers about every 2 hours. I never had a problem before and I really don't know what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated???????

What kind of diapers do you use? Not sure if you have read/watched the news lately but the Pampers with "Dry Max" are causing chemical burns on babies diaper areas. So if thats what you use, try switching brands or going to cloth or Gdiapers. It also may be a yeast infection. If it doesnt clear up in a few days I would ask your childs doctor.

I had a similar case, my 2 week old son has what looks like a blister that has cracked along the sides of his genitals. If anyone has any clues, I would greatly appreciate it. If it is the diapers, that is good to know, I just want to get something to soothe his pain.
